You can have it like that except the artwork moved from the spot it is in now to the title bar where the song plays and now it's really small.

So I just took the easiest/best final ever.

Our Marketing Research final was to be taken on Blackboard (online database) but it was running REALLY slow. Like, it took 10 minutes to get it running, as well as 3 minute long gaps between questions. There happened to be a College of Business Christmas party going on where there are tons of food, and my teacher, who happens to be the laziest/hungry/greatest teacher ever, planned the exam and made it easy as hell so it would be out by the time the food came out. Since Blackboard was slow and they couldn't get paper copies of the exam, she let us all go and gave us all A's.

Long story short, my Marketing Research professor canceled our final because she was hungry.

I busted out laughing just from seeing what that guy looks like. I don't think I can even make it through the whole video. If he's gonna complain that people think brutal death metal and grindcore are music then someone needs to show him harsh noise.

The venue's choice of music to play over the loudspeaker last night at Eluveitie was pretty hilarious. Before the show it was The Black Album, while Wintersun was setting up it was straight fist-pumping club music and while Eluveitie was setting up it was all metalcore/deathcore (Conducting From the Grave was the only thing I recognized).

Also, holy shit, Varg is such a good band live. Probably stole the show for me.

So 2 of the questions on my business communications final I just took were the exact same thing. Word for word. The only difference was that the "is" in, "What is acceptable in a business report?" was italicized in one of the questions. On top of that, my professor threw a Neutral Milk Hotel reference in the exam. It was about whether or not it was cited correctly in APA format, it went something like:

Mangum (1998) states, "It is possible for one airplane pilot to fly the airplane over the sea."

Incidentally, this reminds of the Norway attack a year, and how even Varg of Burzum said 'No matter how extreme your beliefs are, you do not kill children'. Even someone with such extreme views as Varg could not consent to this level of insanity.

Beliebers are the fucking worst. Speaking of Justin Bieber, I just read about this (http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/13/us/justin-bieber-murder-plot/index.html) in the paper.

I missed Hanzel und Gretyl tonight because I went to the bar for a co-worker's birthday after work and ended up staying till 3 in the afternoon. :violin: I set an alarm for eight o'clock, but that just wasn't happening. I went to a DIY grind/punk show at the local place in town instead. This awesome powerviolence band (they called themselves "power bottom violence" :lol: which they had a hilariously inappropriate shirt for) from Detroit called Deadchurch. The most popular grindcore band in DeKalb, Minimum Wage Assassins, played and brought the noise as usual. It ended up being a pretty good night after all. Beer.

This month has sucked! I slept weird on my right hand the night of Wintersun and over stressed it. I then had practice for 2 weeks straight and played two shows. I've been trying to rest it up over the last 4 days, but due to work and me being the only one who can do the heavy lifting, I have messed it back up.

I am hitting the studio to record a CD on January 9th, and am worried I won't be healed in time if I keep being forced into stressing my hand more and more every day.

Tonight is the first time I will be drumming since Friday, so I am hoping I can pull through it. I'll take it easy, luckily the new Funeral Age songs we are working on aren't too bad on the blast beats (well.... certain parts, but not as hard as the past songs).

Eh, there's too many Beneath the... bands out there.

Same with "Black", "Funeral", "Wolves" (and this one goes outside of metal), and pretty much anything Satan/demonic related.

It's makes them look better in comparison. ;)

What even is that?

Training your ear to hear certain intervals and also singing and the like. Stuff we do is sing scales and modes, pieces of written music and intervals. As far as hearing, we do interval recognition, melodic dictation (hearing a melody or two ten writing them down) and harmonic dictation which is the same but four voices. It's a pain in the ass but a must for music majors.

Trying to figure out why when you say "show is full, there is no room for another band", bands still beg to get on with horrible grammar to boot.

I work today 10-6, but since it's Walmart I doubt it will be anything but over the top insane.

Fortunately I only had to work 9 til 12 today. But in an office, what the fuck is the point? People are only their to keep the chairs warm for a morning. Nothing you do will be looked at, and no one's going to attempt anything but the simplest tasks anyway because they don't want to get stuck beyond lunchtime.

My Christmas break can finally start. Until Thursday, when I'm back at work.

I realized I had major stoner rock problems when I had the volume all the way up in the car listening to Sky Valley and it still wasn't loud enough because my tube amp head was in the passenger seat blocking a speaker.

A really good friend of mine was worried about my wrist problems. She texted me saying she bought me something to help it out, so we met up and she gave me this gel rub. IT HAS BEEN WORKING MIRACLES.

It doesn't neccessarily CURE it, but it relieves the pain. I had band practice last night, and it was the first time I've drummed in a couple weeks where I could actually focus on my playing, and not on how much my wrist was hurting :eek:.

I feel so grateful to have such a caring friend :D :D :D :D :D :D

No, it still wasn't loud enough because that is a badly produced, horribly quiet album.

...what. The production on Welcome to Sky Valley is outstanding! Even though Brant's a total cymbal smasher you don't hear an annoying "psssssh" like on a lot of other albums he played on (The Action is Go by Fu Manchu comes to mind). The basslines are actually audible even though Josh's guitar is low as hell and the frequency spectrum is generally pretty even- the fact that the album isn't a sludgy mess is proof of that. When it comes to stoner rock, you really can't ask a whole lot more from the production than what you get with Sky Valley. And as for the quiet thing, do you mean in terms of the mastering or the songs themselves? The mastering is perfectly fine on Sky Valley, it didn't ruin the mix as some shit mastering jobs do and the dynamics were preserved since the master wasn't jacked to hell.

Quiet maybe, since it's pre-volume war and not compressed...
Badly produced?

I will be making the metalsetlists end of year submission thread this weekend.

Would anyone be interested in two lists: top albums and top ep's?

Personally no interest in EPs, but I know some of the sub-genres I don't like have had a good year for them, so I'd guess it'll be popular.

You're only doing it so you can include K-pop, aren't you?

I'm against an EP list personally. I've only heard 5-6 this year and the only one that I feel strongly about is Revocation.

But that's your fault. Doesn't make the idea a bad one, or mean that you have to participate if he does include an EP list.

I'm fully aware it's my own doing and that I wouldn't have to participate if there was an EP poll, but regardless I still don't like the idea of having an EP poll.
